What this amendment would do

As an analyst looking out for the good of the people, let's break down what this amendment actually does in plain language. Mr. Durbin submitted this amendment, and it focuses entirely on repealing section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934.

Here is what the amendment aims to change or add:

Repeals Section 230: The core purpose is to completely remove section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934.
Cleans Up Other Laws: It makes updates to a bunch of other laws—like the Trademark Act, the Controlled Substances Act, and various titles of the United States Code—to remove references to the repealed section 230 and replace them with references to section 223 instead.
Sets a Start Date: It makes sure these changes officially go into effect on January 1, 2027.
